The Braddock Beacon, June 2011

Supervisor Cook Set to Launch Citizen Governance Initiative June 2011 - As a follow-on to my Community Engagement Initiative
(CEI), I intend to launch a “Citizen Governance” Initiative. The
CEI was about empowering individuals to work together to improve their
own neighborhoods. In this model, government facilitates change, but does
not impose it.

Remember, Parents Who Host, Lose the Most June 2011 - June is traditionally a time of great celebration
for high school seniors, as well as their families and friends making it
essential for teens and their parents alike to keep in mind the
importance of having fun and celebrating their achievements in a safe and
responsible way. In light of this, Supervisor Cook would like to
reiterate his support of the “Parents Who Host Lose the Most: Don’t be a
party to teenage drinking” message.
